The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-12-31

average degree of promptness. the obligations to
wholesale firms. and in this regard the latter
have but little complaint to make Promptness
in making payments for their goods has specially
characterized the trade of local dealers this year.
MISUNDERSTANDING the wholesale hard ware
dealers there is general expression OF satisfac-
ton with the trade of the past year. Prices
with them have remained firm. There has
been sliding and down to create distrust,
and cause reluctance upon the part of buyers to
stock up. The volume of business has increased
is per cent, making estimate of the years
business at 81, SOC. 600. In the matter of colec-
tions there is com plant. attributable TO
the failure of the corn crop in southern Indiana
This as usual, has its reactionary effect upon
all classes of trade, but the failure has not been
sufficiently general to cause any serious appre-
hensiou.
GLAsswARE-In this business there has been
a very large increase over the volume of trade of
previous years. The trade has gradually grown
until it is one of the leading features of Indl-
annapolis wholesale business. The firm of Holl-
veg & Reese constitute the largest importing
house in the West, the value of their importa-
tions during the past year amounting to $40, 0OO
Their agents have been pushed into the neigh
boring States, whore they are supplantng the
houses of their neiehbors. The firm of Pearson
e Wetzel have also made rapid strides, and has
had a largely increased trade.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-12-31

The Years Transactions Are Twice as Lar

The Years Transactions Are Twice Large
Those of 1886.
One of the most gratifying evidences of the
great prosperity of Indianapolis is the remark
able improvement in the real estate market
during the last year. During the last few
months of 1856 the market began to get strength,
md since that time has showed signs of
Weakening. Proftins by past experience. at
tempts to inaugurate boom have been dis
souraged. and steady market has been main
tained throughout the year. The discovery OF
natural gas near Indianapolis in the spring
caused squirt in the market, and for time it
looked like valuations would go beyond the
legitimate limit, but the opposition to such
move kept the market a sound basis. During
the three months following the discovery of nat
ural gas great deal of uniInproved property
about the city changed hands, some of it passing
into the possession of spectators Much of that
class of property was subdivided and later in
the year again put the market and re-
